The Women of Xochitecatl, Site Museum in Xochitecatl Archaeological Site, San MIguel del Milagro Tlaxcala


The distinguishing feature of the figurines is the great quantity of figures that represent females from infancy right through to old age, including babies, richly-dressed women and pregnant women. Some figurines represent women with an opening in the abdomen containing richly dressed babies. Others show mothers carrying their children in their arms or upon their backs. The figurines are richly detailed, giving a glimpse of the daily attire in pre-Columbian times. (Wikipedia)
